Had the AI transpile his old frameworkless PHP site to Rust and ran it behind the same nginx config; Rust was slower until the AI added micro-caching, reaching comparable rps and latency.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Astra upgraded my old OnePlus 3 to LineageOS 18 in 10 minutes
He let Astra control his old OnePlus 3 over ADB. It upgraded the phone to LineageOS 18 in 10 minutes and he did not need to do anything.

I had never written Swift. The AI and I shipped my wife's dance app.
His wife, a dancer, was fighting normal video players to learn routines, dragging the playhead back by hand for every rep. With zero Swift and no iOS experience, he built Dashi Dance with AI over about ten weeks, and it went live on the App Store on August 25 in 15 languages, with three updates shipped in the first two and a half weeks.
GPT Astra was meant to clean my audio. It ran programs from GitHub instead.

Run my cross-disciplinary research program: find and solve 'the AI-shaped' problems
Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz built BootLoops, an open-source harness that points the AI at exact, checkable calculations, and ran it for three months across roughly 400 candidate problems: the result was 36 manuscripts in 18 fields with 19 coauthors, including 15 Feynman integrals never computed before, Watson's 1939 'final problem' solved, and a forest model showing Panama's Barro Colorado species mix changes 4.5 times faster than neutral theory allows. The AI reproduced results from his own paper in about 20 minutes that had taken him weeks to code.
